Gregg Bissonette

Last night, Jason (my 9 year-old) and I went to see a clinic by Gregg Bissonette. Wow! He did an incredible lecture/demonstration of the importance of groove over bombast. He also did a tribute to Stewart Copeland that would knock your socks off. And, of course, he did some bombast. He was also very nice to Jason and autographed a Mapex catalog for him.

If you haven't heard of Gregg, that's OK. He's a behind the scenes kind of guy. He is currently Ringo Starr's drummer as well as doing TV and movies. He is also the backup voice for Winnie the Pooh for Disney. He does the voices for the talking dolls and toys.
